I just realized that all the stories I've written thus far for the Twisted series, despite having different story lines, different characters, and different "voices", share a common theme: the
horrifying consequences of a person blindly fulfilling their needs at the expense of others.

The reasons “why” vary, too. In one of these stories, a mother is trapped in an addiction; in another, it's a producer's greed that sets off mass carnage; in a third, death and destruction result
when a former friend fully indulges his sadism.

I came to the party (the party being submitting my writing to competitions) later than many -- despite having worked as a writer professionally for over 30 years and having written little stories
and poems since I could first manage a pen.

Once at the party, my writing partner and I thought surely the screenplay we were submitting to budget-busting competitions would have judges whipping out their cells, conference-calling A-list
Hollywood producers, directors and talent, and screaming "You've GOT to do this picture!".

We quickly learned that it is incredibly difficult to get noticed, let alone produced.
